Proceeding contribution from Lord Ryder of Wensum (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 May 2012. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Draft House of Lords Reform Bill.


Draft House of Lords Reform Bill

I am very grateful to my noble friend. I have known him for many decades and I would never accuse him of naiveté, but I have been following his speech carefully. If the other House continues to automatically guillotine every piece of legislation, what is to prevent this House from doing exactly the same and therefore being a mirror image of the other House by not revising legislation properly?
